The Lizzie Borden House is the former Borden family home in Fall River, Massachusetts, and the site tied to the 1892 unsolved double murder of Andrew and Abby Borden. Sources identify the property as a historic house that has been operated as a museum and bed-and-breakfast. The site figures prominently in regional and national accounts of the Borden case and has been preserved and presented to the public in part because of that association. The supplied research notes distinguish this property from Maplecroft Mansion, another Fall River house purchased by Lizzie Borden after her 1893 acquittal; Maplecroft is described separately as a restored Queen Anne Victorian that has been a private residence and was offered for sale with a variance to operate as a bed and breakfast. The notes caution that Maplecroft and the historic Borden house are related to Lizzie Borden's life but are distinct properties and should not be conflated without further sources. While the supplied material does not record specific eyewitness descriptions of apparitions, voices, or physical phenomena, the Lizzie Borden House has an established presence in paranormal media and investigation culture: Wikidata links the site to a Ghost Hunters episode (Season 2, Episode 12), indicating that it has been the subject of televised paranormal investigation. The provided sources do not supply investigator findings, named spiritual entities, or detailed haunting accounts, so no specific phenomena beyond documented investigation/media attention are asserted here.
